In an effort to make ruining your lungs an even easier affair, Israel company Gasham Enterprises has developed a cigarette that can be lit without a match, lighter, or any other type of portable flame. Instead, the tip of the cigarette has sulfur and phosphorus built right in. All you need to do is rub the cigarette against the side of the pack, and it ignites. You would think that a rough action like this would destroy the cigarette, crumbling it to pieces - but these cigarettes are reinforced with bamboo and tobacco leaf to stop them from breaking.

It’s always a great joy to mod things for no real reason other than to be able to prove to yourself that you could do it. It’s even better when the mod actually has a purpose, and can save you some serious cash at the same time. A perfect example of this is Jake Ludington’s homemade microphone pop screen. You see, when talking into a mic, the p’s and b’s can sometimes spike the audio signal which distorts the sound. A pop screen solves this problem, as it absorbs whatever it is that causes that spike in the first place. I have casually shopped for pop screens before, and they aren’t cheap. That is what makes Jake’s so appealing. All you need is a 6” embroidery hoop, generic pantyhose, 1/2-inch split flex tubing, 2 feet 10-2 wire, 7.5” black zip ties, 1 1/4” compression fitting (from plumbing), and a 1” spring clamp. Get all this together, and it will cost less than ten bucks. Full assembly instructions at Jake’s site.

You’ll need to keep both hands on the controls though, as one hand controls brakes, and the other speed. The tire looks like it’s a little on the thick side, to allow for multiple terrains. it can be yours for only $445. Horrified spectators not included.

Every time I go down to visit my mom in South Jersey I get the living crap scared out of me. That’s because the neighbor’s two dogs lunge up to their gate with the biggest roar of of a bark imaginable. A little device like this one should help prevent any future heart-attacks on my part. Essentially, it emits a high pitch that only dogs can hear whenever they start barking. The thought here is that the dog will eventually learn that they should not bark, lest that want toey should hear that annoying sound. Won’t keep your house from being burglarized though.

This was made because we all drive Bentley’s, wear Armani suits, and eat at only the finest dining establishments. At the foolhardy price of 35 G’s this gold and diamond encrusted PSP will do absolutely nothing special that the regular one cant do. Actually, it will definitely get you more chicks. As an added bonus: people won’t think your childish for playing video games - just fashionable.

The Apple iPod Camera Connector has shown up on Apple’s store for $30, and should ship in 1-3 weeks. It’s also the first official picture we’ve seen of the device that lets you plug your camera directly into an iPod photo. It’s not much to look at, but we’ll see how this goes over in a few weeks. This one is compatible with all iPod photo units.

The RM-11 remote from ABIT uses the µGuru connection which is now present on most ABIT mainboards to give you access to features other remote solutions can only dream of. Sure, you can control your media center PC for things like selecting activities, pumping up the volume, and viewing media - but the RM-11 goes a few steps further. Connected to that odd little red connector on your ABIT mainboard, the RM-11 then has the capability to control the settings of your mainboard through the µGuru software. Imagine using this with your media PC in your living room. Clock your PC down and enjoy a movie. If you want to game, use the remote to overclock the PC without even touching the keyboard. But the ABIT guys haven’t stopped there, they’ve clearly had a good long think about what a replacement remote needs to do, and have built in the ability for the RM-11 to replace all your remotes in one swoop. On the back of the unit is a small receiver which allows the remote to learn the codes should it not have your particular brand in its database of thousands of codes. When not in use, the RM-11 resides in a stylish cradle through which it can download new updates and profiles for use, meaning you will only have to perhaps program it once, if at all, and it’ll look after itself from then on.

Now that we’re only a few days from getting our hands on a PSP here in the States, PSP Video 9 has hit the scene. PSP Video 9 is a free PSP video conversion and management application. It can convert regular PC video files (avi, mpeg, etc) into PSP video files, as well as manage/copy these PSP video files between your PC and PSP. When combined with another application, Videora + PSP Video 9 form the first PSPcasting solution, allowing you to download, convert and copy video to your PSP, automatically using BitTorrent and RSS technology. No doubt, we will be putting this program through the paces come this weekend.
